    If the area you injected is warm to the touch then you have an infection Are you injecting with the same needle you draw with?

    He would have to be or not cleaning himself b4 hand. Dirty needle or dirty injection zone is the only thing that could make that happen.

    No. I know all the procedures. I dont see how it could have gotten infected. I showered, swabbed the top of the vial, then with another alcohol swab i did my delt, let it sit for a bit, drew with an 18g, switched needles, injected with a 25x1. Like I said I think i just messed up a lot while injected. for some reason i was more nervous the 2nd time then the first. I put the needle in and it moved around wayy too much, it seriously like went in a circle cause i was just trying to aspirate, and i injected way too fast. and because i was so nervous i didnt even realize i was doing this till afterwards but slowly started pulling the needle out as i was finishing injecting. i just messed up everywhere. but my latest one went very well and no pain, nothing, feels fine. and its really hard to tell if its warm to the touch. its about the same as teh rest of my body

    also between by bicep and delt i can feel like a little knot.but doesnt itch and i havent been getting a fever or anything. this happened with my left one too that is now better but this one seems worst cause i messed up more.

    and before you say my gear is bad i know 100% that it is not.

    heres two pics i just took. if it was an infection wouldnt it be getting worse? Cause its getting better. it used to be more red.





    ive googled a lot about this and seems like its pretty common. im just making sure im alright.
